to a German text-book. This comparatively small book — for it only covers som6 

 three hundred pages— gives as good a generalaccount of ordinary laboi&tory methods 

 as any teacher or student could desire. Although the author refers in his preface to 

 help derived from the works of Salkowski, Hammaisien and others, it is but fair to 

 say that the book has undoubtedly been wiitten by one who has worked out ihe 

 methods -and knows the importance of exact practical details— Edmburgr^ Med.

Physiological chemistry is one of the most important studies of the medical curri- 

 culum. The cultivation of tnis field has until recently been possible to but few. 

 The rapid development of this department of science within a few years past has 

 thrown much and needed light upon physiological processes It is from this quarter 

 and from bacteriological investigations that progress must chiefly be expected. The 

 rapid growth of this branch of chemistry is attended by another result. It necessi- 

 tates the frequent revision of text-books. The present edition of Dr. Novy's valu- 

 able book is aimost wholly rewritten It is representative of the present state of 

 knowledge and is replete with information of value alike to student and practitioner. 

 Few are better prepared to write such a book than Dr. Novy. who has himself done 

 much original work in this held.—Thn Medical BuVtUn, Hli'lad Iffhia. 



This is a greatly enlarged edition of Dr. Novy's work on Physiological Chemistry, 

 and contains a large amount of new material not found in the former edition. It is 

 designed as a text-book and guide for students in experimental work in the labora- 

 tory, and does not therefore cover the same ground as the works of Gamgee, Lea, 

 and I other authors of books on physiological chemistry. As a lE^boratory guide it 

 should be adopted by our medical colleges throughout the country, because it is an 

 American production, contains only such directions and descriptions as have been 

 verified by actual practice with students, and because it is clear, concise and definite 

 in all its stat-ements. Its nrst ten chapters treat of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, 

 saliva, gastric juice pancreatic secretion, bile, blood, milk, a< d urine. Chapter xi. 

 is devoted to the quantitative analysis of urine, milk, gastric juice, and blood, while 

 chapter tii. gives tables for examination of urine and a list of reagents. — A.m.

Preface to the Second Edition. — The second edition of this book has been 

 improved by me in several parts, and particularly the sections treating of the exam- 

 ination of the stomach and nervous system have been slightly extended. The author 

 trusts that the book may also fulfill its purpose in the future in assisting the student 

 tp learn a systematic examination of the patient, and to impress on him the most 

 important requisite means and methods.

We have carefully examined this book, and our advice to every student and prac- 

 titioner of medicine is — buy it. You will never regret having invested your money in 

 .it, and you will acquire such a large fund of information that the siudy of pathology 

 will become a pleasure instead of the drudgery which it sc unfortunately seems to 

 be in many cases. 



Part I. of this book, embracing some 103 pages, deals with the materials, which
